Rev. C. 11. Spurgeon, London.
B\ lIEV. "WILLIAM M. TAYLOR.
The Rev. C. II Spurgeon, as all the
v oild knows, is one of the foremost of
living English preachers, He was
borne on the 19tli of June, 1834, at
Kelvcdon in Essex, where his father
was a Congregationnlist minister. His
grandfather, the Rev. Jas. Spurgeon,
was also a Congregationalist minister,
and officiated in an ancient chapel of
Hr. W atts, at. Stambourne, Essex
Whpn Charles was about ten years
old, and residing for a time with his
grandfather, the Rev. Richard Knill
paid a visit to the venerable minister.
A great compionship sprang up be
tween the boy and liis grandfather’s
guest; and while they were walking
in the garden together, (we take the
story from Mr. Knill’s biography, by
Mr. Birrcll, of Liverpool, and have
besides heard Mr. Spurgeon tell it him
self,) the visitor felt a prayerful con
cern for the intelligent and inquiring
boy; sat with him under a tree, put
his hands on his head and prayed for
him ; telling him at the close that he
“believed he would love Je§us Christ
and preach his gospel in the largest
chapel in the world.” When this cu
rious prediction obtained something
like fulfilment in the young preacher,
whose audience crowded the Surrey
Music Hall, ere yet the Metropolitan
Tabernacle had been built, both par
ties in a short correspondence referred
to the old garden incident with feelings
of wonder, and what ever else may
be said about it, we cannot but believe
that the subtle influence of such a sug
gestion, made iu such circumstances,
by such a man, must have had some
thing to do with the after ienor of
Mr. Spurgeon’s life.
Mr. Spurgeon, we believe, received
his early education at Colchester, and
Jvp have seen ii stated that he passed,
a year at the agricultural college at
Maidstone. He began the active
business of life as an usher in school
ut New Market, whence he afterwards
removed to Cambridge, lie was con
verted, as he has himself often told un
der a sermon preached by a simple, un
lettered, primitive Methodist minister,
from the text, “ Look unto me, and
be yo saved, all ye ends of the earth,
for I am God, and besides me there is
none else.” After giving himself to
the Lord, he imediately began to work
for hing gf.d both at New Market and
Cambridge lie was so popular as a
speaker to Sunday-schools, that his
addresses always attracted a large
number of grown-up hearers. Soon
after he became eminent as a village
preacher, conducting Sunday evening
services among those who had not the
means of grace otherwise'provided for
them. lie adopted the opinions of
the Baptist denomination, and was
called by the church at Waterbeach
to be their pastor. Thus, though he
had attended no theological seminary?
and graduated in nocollege was recog
nised as one called of God to the work.
In January, 1834, when as yet he
had not completed his twentieth yeai,
he was invited to the pastorate of
New Park-street church, on the Sur
rey side of the Thames, London. The
congregation worshipping in that edi
fice, which will he always interesting
from its association with the commen
tator Gill, was at this time at a very
ioV ebb. But very soon multitudes
were attracted by the discourses of
the new preacher, who, Though little
giore than a boy, amused his hearers
by the fervor, simplicity, unction, and
power which he displayed. There
were many prejudices to be overcome,
and many difficulties to be surmount
ed. Many despised his youth, Some
of the brethren in the ministry sneer
ed at his lack of a professional educa
tion, and liis humorous sayings ijind il
lustrations were retailed by solemn
purists to bis disadvantage. But
there were others, who, from the first,
recognized his sincereity, and perceiv
ed m him the promise of signal emi
nence and usefulness. Among these
last was the venerable Dr. Alexander
Fletcher, who encouraged him with
all his heart, and gave him the advant
age of his mature wisdom. lie put
into his hands the sermons of the
Er&kiues, and earnestly advised him
to study the English Puritans of the
seventeenth century, and every one
who is familiar with Mr. Spurgeon’s
sermons will discover that this advice
was cordially taken, and laboriously
followed. By the mastery of these
profound theologians, Mr. Spurgeon
has made up for the lack of a theolog
ical training, while his daily contact
with the throbbing life of London,
has kept him fully cn rapport with
modern movements. While his church
at New Park-street was in process of
enlargement, he preached every Lord’s
day in Exeter Hall, which was iinme
diately crowded by attentive hearers.
Thereafter he went to the large Music
Hall in Surrey, London, and now he
daily ministers to an audience of
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 24, 1872.
about 6,000, in the Metropolitan Tab
ernacle.
In listening to Mr. Spurgeon, the
hearer is first impressed with the fine
ness of liis voice. Jt has a sonorous
roundness which quite fills the im
mense building, and this is only equal
ed by its compass, aud by the skillful
ness with which he modulates it to
suit the thought to which he i3 giving
utterance. But we have scarcely be
coige accustomed to the voice, when
' we are struck with the naturalness of
the speaker. lie is simply and only
himself. There is nothing in the
manner to take away your attention
from the matter of his discourses. He
does not paint himself on the lantern
through which his light shines. You
see nothing but the light.
This is as true of the style of his
discourses as of the manner in which
they are given. He does not affect
new, or strange, or learned words. He
is-addressing the common people, and
he does so in the speech of their com
mon life. No one of his hearers re
quires to take his dictionary with him
to get at the meaning of his terms.—
His words are not merely intelligible,
but they are so full of simple Saxon
vigor, that ic is impossible not to un
derstand them.
Then there is in the structure of his
discourses not a little of dramatic
power. lie vivifies everything which he
describes. You not only hear but you
see that which lie wishes to put before
you. If he paints a character or de
picts a scene, it stands out as distinctly
as the the picture of a great artist does
upon the canvas. Add to this that
there is often a dash cf humor in his
addresses which sorely taxes the grav
ity of his hearers. He believes like
Mr. Beecher, that the whole man
should preach, and that there should
be a place in the sermon for humor as
well as for pathos. In this regard his
example may be commended to the
attention of ministers generally as a
good commentary on the answer of
that worthy man who, when desired
by his pastor to take a snuffbox with
him to church for the purpose of keep
mg himself awake, replied, with great
naivete, “Put the snuff in the sermon,
sir)”
Another thing in the sermons of the
great English preacher, is their texual
unity. He does not understand a text
to be simply like a gate, which lie
may open in a few sentences, and then
pass away from into a field where he
may wander without method. lie
views it rather as his theme, and he so
handles it that he brings out its mean
ing and its bearing on the hearts and
lives of his hearers. He gives out his
divisions distinctly, and they are all so
logically connected with each other
and with the text, that whenever the
text comes up to the memory the ser
mons comes with it as fresh as when
it was first heard.
But the greatest charm to a Christian
in Mr. Spurgeon’s sermons is their
evangelical character. lie preaches
the Gospel. Christ is the centre of
all his utterances ; the cross is the
magnet wherewith lie attracts. In his
theology he is a Calvinist, and we
have sometimes thought that he was
rather fond of giving prominence to
the peculiarities of that system, but
there is withal a presentation of Christ
to every man, as fuff and earnest and
sincere as any one can make it, aud
liis ministry has been blessed to the
conversion of multitudes.
A noticeable feature of his minis
trations is the exposition or running
commentary, with which lie accom
panies the reading of the scriptures.
Not unfrequenty these incidental re
marks are even superior to liis ser
mons properly so called. By a judi
cious parenthesis, or a simple para
phrase, he throws a flood of light on
the meaning of the sacred writer, and
every hearer lias forthwith anew and
deeper interest in the passage so ex
plained.
The membership of liis church,
which numbers between two and three
thousand communicants, is probably
the largest in the world. Yet his
power of organization jo jsp great that
all these are well and taithfully look
ed after by a staff of elders, each of
whom has a small and manageable dis
trict assigned to liis pastoral care.—
Thus, though his numerous engage
ments render it impossible for him to
visit all his people personally, they are
all admirably shepherded, and the dis
cipline is more thorough than in many
churches which have but a tithe of the
numbers.
On the Thusdaj evening of each
week he has a religious service in the
Tabernacle at which he preaches a
brief and earnest sermon, and in these
days when in most of the churches
only a very small proportion of the
congregation is attracted such meet
ing, it, is at once delightful and signifi
cant, to see a company of some two
thousand worshippers, all of whom
are listening with breathless attention
to the speaker's words.
Mr. Spurgeon is as indefatigable as
a worker as he is eminent as a preach
er. He edits a monthly magazine en
titled “The Sword and Trowel; ” he
has published many works—notablv
an excellent commentary on the
Psalms called “ The Treasury of
David,” and in his “John Plough
man’s Talk,” he has gone into many
thousand homes enforcing lessons of
religion and morality, in simple words,
and with a quaint humor which car
ries every reader captive. He has or
ganized a Pastor’s College, for the
training of young men in the ministry
in connection wtth the Baptist Church.
The expenses of this instittution are
defrayed by the weekly offerings tak
en at tfie Tabernacle on the Sabbath,
and by voluntary contributions other
wise received ; and, as a specimen of
Mr. Spurgeon’s liberality of heart, it
may be mentioned that at least one of
the professors in liis college is a Con
gregatioualist who dissents from his
particular views regarding baptism.—
He as established also an orphanage at
Stookwell, which he carefully and ju
diciously superintends. This chanty
had its origin in the fact that a Jady,
personally an entire stranger to him,
made over to him £20,000 to be em
ployed by him as he might deem best
in the service of the Lord.
Mr. Spurgeon’s sermon’s are printed
weekly and have a wide circulation
throughout Great Brittain, and even
in other parts of the v/aild. Indeed
his influence goes wherever the Eng
lish language is spoken. Latterly his
health has teen somewhat shaken by
his severe labors, but we trust that
he may be spared lopg to proclaim
the unsearchable riches of Christ.

For Greeley. —The Louisville
Courier Journal comes out for Greeley.
It says.
“The Columbus (Ohio) Journal is
inaccurate when it says that, in ac
cepting Horace Greeley, we are set
ting our face against the teachings ot
our whole life. Good-will and peace
have entered largely into our scheme
of political existence, and at this time
they form the chief need of the South.
They are represented by Horace G ree
ley more directly and exactly than by
any living American. His tariff no
tions does not disturb us, because
Congress will settle the tariff. His
antislavery record does not disturb us
because slavery is dead. lie is and has
been since the war a generous and
sympathizing friend of the Southern
people, lie is an honest man, and a
kind man, and an able man, and that’s
more than can be said of Grant.”

A Warning.
Among the convicts on their way
to work on the railroad Monday, we
noticed a genteel, pleasant looking
young man. liis appearance at once
enlisted our sympathy as well as our
curiosity, and entering into a free and
easy conversation with him, lie told
the following short story:
“I am twenty-two years old. Quite
young to begin such a life as this.
But I rejoice that I am no older-
One year is not long; and when I get
through I’ll be anew man. 1 intend,
by the help of God to make this ter
rible year a blessing to me. Father
died when I was quite young but left
plenty to sustain the family. . I think
1 was considered a good boy until a
W years ago. I quit school, got a
situation iu a bank, and soon couelu
ded to room with some friends in the
bank building. Aud this, sir, was
the beginning of my ruin. A moth
er’s warning and a sweet sister’s plea
ding could not induce me to change
my mind and “stay at home.” They
saw where I was drifting; and at eve
ry meal “do come back home” was
sure to enter every conversation, until
I—an ungrateful wretch—became tir
ed ot their loving importunities—or
rather, ashamed to face these dear
ones—and almost quit going home to
my meals at all. All thh time I was
being led further into wickedness, un
til one fatal night, under the distrac
ting influence of liquor, I fought an
other boy—he too ot a respectable
family, with a pleasant home, but
“rooming out” like me. We were
both wounded; and he died. My sis
ter’s heart is broken—Mother is weep
ing herself away—l am ruined—but
not for all time, I hope. And it all
comes from mv leaving home to room
out.”
Horace Greeley,
We take the following sketch of
the life of the nominee of the Liberal
Republican Convention at Cincinnati
from the New York World of May
the 4th :
Horace Greeley, was born on the 3rd
of February 1811, in Amherst, N. 11.
At 10 years of age his parents remov
ed to Vermont, where Ire was appren
ticed to a printer in East Puttcny, in
that State lie worked there four
years, (1826-1830) and became very
proficient in “the art preservative of
all arts.” In 1831, then twenty years
of age, left the Green Mountain State
to seek his fortune in other places. He
brought up iu Erie, Pennsylvania,
where he worked for three or four
months at bis trade. From Erie he
went to New York. lie arrived there
in August of that year with SIO,OO
in his pocket, shabby clothes on his
back, worn-out shoes oil his feet, and
the Universal form of Christianit y firm
ly embeded in his soul. For ten
years lie worked as journeyman prin
ter and hack journalist. In January
1844 he founded the Morning Post,
which was the first penny newspaper
ever published ; it continued only a
few weeks. Iu 1831 Greeley & Cos.,
founded The New Yorker, a weekly
literary Journal. From March 1738
to March 1839 he edited the Jefferson
ian, a weely, published under the di
rection of the Whig Central Commit
tee. In 1840, he founded and edited
The Log Cabin, published weekly
during the Harrison Campaign.—-
This was his first success, the circula
tion of the Log Cabin reaching 80,-
000. In 1836 he married Miss Cheney
of North Carolina. .Greeley was nev -
er discouraged by his failures. After
every fall he got up and went at it
again, until the 10 of April, 1841, he
published the first number of the New
York Tribune. In 1848 he was elec
ted to Congress. Up to 1856 he was
a consistant Whig, in that year he as
sisted at the birth of the Radical Re
publican in every sense of tno term'
After the close of the late war he rais
ed the cry of “universal amnesty and
universal suffrage. Mr. Greeley has
written several works, but none of
which have proved very seleable. Mr.
Greely early identified himself with
the Liberal Movement, which has cul
minuted ip his nomination for the
Presidency.
The Candidate of the Liberal
Republicans for Vice President.—
B. Gratz Brown, wasbornin Lexing
ton, Kentucky, May, 28lh, 1826. He
graduated at the Transylvania Uni
versity, in 1845, and at Yale College,
in 1847. After studying law in Louis
ville he settled in St. Louis, Mo., and
was a member of ihe Legislature of
that State, from 1852 to 1858.
He aided iu establishing the Mis
souri Democrat, and was its editor
from 1854 to 1859. Although his
father aud grand father before—the
latter once a United States Senator
from Kentucky, were run of the old
Southern regime. B. Gratz Brown,
from his youth was opposed to slavery,
and as tar back as 1857, made an
emancipation speech in the Missouri
Legislature. He was elected and serv
ed as United States Senator from 1863
to 1867. In 1870 lie was nominated
and elected Governor of Missouri, by
the Liberal a Republicans, position he
now holds.
The Josh Eillinga Papers.
TIIE ROBBING.
The robin liaz a red brest.
They bav a plaintiff song, and sing
az tho waz sorry for sum thing.
They ar natitfs ov the northern
States, but go South to winter.
They git their name for their grate
ability for robbin a cherry tree.
They can also robin a currant bush
fust rate and are smart on a goose Ler
ry.
If a robin cant find enuy thing else
tew cat, they aint tew fastidious to
cat a ripe strawberry.
They build their nests ov mud and
straw, and lay 4 eggs that are speck
eled.
Four young robbing, in a nest, that
are just hatched out, and still on the
half shell, are alwaz az reddy for din
ner az a nuzeboy iz.
If ennybody goes near their nest,
their mouths all fly open at once, so
that yu can see clear down tew their
palates.
If’ it wan’t for the birds, I suppose,
ov course, we should all be et up by
the catterpillars and snakes, but i hav
thought it wouldn’t be ennything more
than common politeness fbr the rob
bings to let us hav now and then just
one ov our own cherriz, to see how
they did taste.
THE SWALLOW.
The swallo is a lively bird.
Swallos make their appearance late
in the spring, and are alwaz in a twit
ter about sumthing.
They hav az much twitter as a
boarding skule miss.
They can fli az an arror, and a
great deal krookider.
I hay seen them skim a mill pond
cluss enuff to take the cream off from
it, and even make the frogs dodge,
and not touch the water.
When the swallo cuius, spring has
cum sure, but there is an old proverb
(one cf Soiomans i presume) which
sez “one swallo don’t make aspring.”
This may be so, but I have seen a
spring (of water) that would make a
grate menny swallows.
Swallows never hav the dispepshy,
they liv upoiyiothing, and take a grate
deal ov exercise in the open air.
They don’t set up nites busting,
and never cheat a taylor out ov his
bill.
They don’t wast cuny time in the
morning making their toilette, but
like the flowers, shake oph the dew
from their beds, and are ready for
business.
I cant think of ennything God has
made, more harmless than a swallo ;
they are az innocent az a daizy, and
az pure az the air they swim in, they
won't liv, shut up in a cage, much
longer than a trout will.
O
THE .BAT.
The bat is a winged mouse.
They liv very retired during the
day, but at nite cum out for a frolic.
They slivery much unsartain and
ac az tho they had taken a leetlc too
mutch gin.
They look out ov their face like a
young owl, and will bite like a snap
pin turtle.
What they arc good for I cant tel 1
and don’t believe they can tell neith
er.
They dont seem tew be bird, beast,
or insec, but a kind ov live hash,
made out ov all three.
If tliare want enny bats iu this
world, I don’t suppose the earth
would refuse tew revolve on its axis,
once in a while just for fun.
But when we cum to think that
thar ain’t on the face ov the earth ev
en one bat too mutch, aud that tliare
haint been since the daze ov Adam, a
single, surplussmuskeeter’s egg laid by
acsideut, we can form sum kind ov an
idee how little we no, and what a
poor* job we should make ov it run
nin the masliinery of creashun.
Man iz a phool enny how, and the
best ov the jok iz he don’t seem tew no
it.
Bats hav a destiny tew fill, and 1
will bet 4 dollars they fill it better
than we do ours.
Bats liv on flies, and hawks liv on
bats, but who lives on the hawk I cant
